Arcana Mob

The next day, the mid-term Exam was already at the edge.

People crammed, and the library was packed. Yet today, there was a strange atmosphere at Orion University.

" Hey, Have you bought it?"

" Yes.. but thank God. With this, at least I believe I would be able to survive through this mid-term Exam."

" Good.. but to think he would sell his notes for $100, he certainly had done us a favor."

These kinds of discussions were pretty normal in the first year at Orion University, and the reason was none other than Cade selling his notes to the students at what he perceived as a low price.

As most of the people here were from wealthy families, they had no issue with the price Cade set, and rather they thought Cade was giving a favor for them. And quickly, business was blooming that Cade began to feel stupid that he had not done this from the start.

Being in the middle of this rumor, Cade didn\'t seem to be impacted much.

After all, it was not his first time being in the limelight, and his previous rumor was way harsher than this.

"…Auuuu, I\'m exhausted. But getting $20,000 in one day.. Those rich kids really know how to spend money."

Cade put his phone down as he had just finished the most recent transaction.

Lately, there was some special request like predicting the Exam or even a special QnA session, and since they packed a quite good amount of money, Cade definitely wouldn\'t reject them.

The problem was Cade was lacking some sleep as It had taken him almost five whole hours to write the notes. He had separated the important topics and underlined which needed to be understood.

" *Sigh* It couldn\'t be helped, though… After all, I need to provide a good service. Or else my customer would be running away from me. Nonetheless, it is a lot more tiring than I thought."

Cade said as he stretched his body. But from the side, there seemed to be a grumpy voice.

" Huh, claiming to be tired when everything was the hard work of this Lord Grigory.. you get some nerve, kid.."

It was pretty obvious that everything also involved Grigory, as Cade didn\'t really have the brain for it.

But different from usual, Cade didn\'t react too much when he heard Grigory\'s words. Rather, he just smirked back at him.

" Hmm… what is this? Is the great Lord Grigory feel dissatisfied? Should we redo our discussion last night? I haven\'t even yet finished about how you scared Luna last time."

" !!!! "

For some reason, even Grigory\'s face began to turn pale when he heard Cade\'s words. Even though he was all-powerful, it seemed like the system that bound Grigory to Cade was still a being that Grigory could not offend.

It was last night that the two realized when Cade really wanted to nag that all Grigory could do was listen to him all day long, and it had created a separate trauma for him.

" Not answering, huh? Maybe we should really-"

" Okay, you won, kid! *Sigh* To think this Great Lord Grigory would eventually succumb to a little kid nagging.."

Cade could only chuckle when he heard this.

He was about to go take sleep when suddenly a new message came into his phone.

[ Hey.. Um… I heard that you are selling your notes. Can I buy it? The name\'s Stella, by the way.]

. . . . . .

For the rest of the week, Cade spent his time racking money from those rich kids.

As for his biggest customer, two big customers were like fat sheep to him.

One was Elicia, who, during the last day before the Exam, came to Cade and booked him for the whole day to teach her, and the other was the girl that undergoes the Codename Stella.

Yes, Codename.

The number was new, and it was Cade\'s first contact with the number. However, the person behind the number was not someone new to Cade.

It was directly stated in the game that sometimes, Luna went around with the name Stella.

But really, Luna and Stella? Couldn\'t she think of a more creative name than that?

But there\'s a question in Cade\'s mind.

Just what caused her to use a codename for contacting him?

Was she shy that she needed help from her rival to finish the Exam?

Thinking it like that, a smirk appeared in Cade\'s mind.

\' Well, sometimes she could also be cute, huh?\'

" …."

\' What?\'

" No, sometimes I really wonder. Whether you are stupid or are you deliberately acting like this to get girls?"

" ….. "

Nonetheless, today\'s focus was not on Luna or Cade.

With Grigory\'s help, Cade was positive that being in the top three was child play.

The main focus this time was none other than the protagonist Aurum who kept looking at Cade like he saw his nemesis.

\' Why is he…\'

" *Cough* Cade, isn\'t it? It\'s okay. You don\'t need to think about it that much. He is just angry because he felt like his chance of being at the top of his grade had diminished a lot."

From nowhere, a feminine sound chimed in. Cade turned his head to the source of the sound and saw Eva was actually looking at him with teasing eyes.

" What??"

" Nothing, I\'m just a bit curious about the guy that was able to take my friend\'s interest… Oh, and by the way. Please don\'t mistake it with I have an interest in you. I\'m not that kind of woman that likes to steal my friend\'s man."

" …. "

Cade rolled his eyes. But once again, he was reminded of Eva\'s personality.

If Luna was a cold outside hot inside type of girl, Luna was the kind but full of trick woman.

Cade still remembers just how much trouble Eva gave him in the game with all her tricks, and somehow it gave a bad taste in his mouth.

As Eva saw Cade was dazed while looking at her, a smile began to creep on her face.

" Hmm? What is this? Don\'t tell me that you are actually interested in me? That\'s bad.. Luna would definitely cry when she heard this and.."

And just like that, Eva kept running her mouth for almost two minutes before Cade eventually couldn\'t tolerate it anymore and decided to leave for the classroom.

But before he left, he stopped for a while as he looked at Eva right into her eyes and said:

" I\'m not interested in you. But… if I\'m being honest, I\'m a bit interested in that friend of yours, and I need you to tell him that no matter what he did, he would never catch up to me. The first position, it is already mine from the start."
